I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 5 5500, but I'm having trouble getting a display. I'm using an ASRock A320M HDV R4.0 motherboard, which I know isn't natively compatible with the 5500, but it should work if I update the BIOS to version 7.20 or higher. I initially updated to 8.01, and while the computer powers on with the fans and lights, I still can't get any display. I reverted back to the 2600 and updated to 7.20 but I'm still facing the same issue. What might be going wrong?

Make sure you've connected your monitor's video cable to your dedicated graphics card, not to the motherboard's video outputs. The Ryzen 5 5500 doesn't have integrated graphics, so it needs to rely on your RX 6600 for display output.
Check if your motherboard is actually compatible with the Ryzen 5 5500. You also need to ensure your RAM is compatible with that CPU. A mismatch in any of those components can lead to display issues. Just updating the BIOS isn't always enough.
